Beati omnes qui timent dominum by Wolfgang Ottho — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuae;
filii tui sicut novellae olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae.

About Beati omnes qui timent dominum
Wolfgang Ottho's motet Beati omnes qui timent dominum for SSATT voices opens with a noble, flowing melody, soon joined by imitative entries that build a rich, contrapuntal texture. The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 128, speaks of the blessings bestowed upon those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways. It paints a picture of domestic felicity and divine favour, with a wife like a fruitful vine and children like olive shoots. The music reflects this sense of well-being and divine promise, building to a serene affirmation of peace and prosperity for the faithful.
